ABSTRACT
Aim: To analyze the method of creating AV fistula and factors affecting its functioning.
Material and methods: The study was carried out between August 2016 and July 2018 on 50 patients with chronic renal failure. They were subjected to side to side AV fistula under local anaesthesia. Various parameter of operative procedure and outcome of procedure were analysed.
Results: Mean operative time of procedure was 46 minutes. The success rate of AV fistula creation was 80%. In those patients with failure 50% had diabetes mellitus and 20 % had ischemic heart disease.
Conclusion: Arteriovenous fistula for haemodialysis has reasonably good success rate with fewer complications.
Key words: arteriovenous fistula, haemodialysis, chronic renal failure.
